From wiki:Helsinki Ice Hall (Helsingin Jäähalli) is an indoor arena located in Helsinki, Finland. It is the home arena for HIFK of the SM-liiga. It is sometimes called "Petoluola", Finnish for "The beast's cave", referring to the logo of HIFK: a red panther. It is capable of holding 8,120 people.

Helsinki Ice Hall used to be the main arena for all important ice sports events, as well as indoor arena concerts, but after the construction of Turkuhalli and Hartwall Areena, many events take place in the newer arenas. Helsinki Ice Hall still remains an active arena for concerts, conferences, expos and sports events.
